2.23 trot. Besides, $50 will be given to
the horse winning the fastest heat in
2.17 or better during the meeting.
HELP THEM.—The citizens of Clin-
ton should give our lacrosse players
more substantial encourngenaent. The
proper way to do this is to buy a mem-
bership ticket and encourage the Club
in every other possible way. No fault,
however, can be found with the at-
tendance at the match on Friday even-
ing. Clinton has the material and
should be able to boast of one of the
best lacrosse clubs in Ontario.
CRICKET. --The Exeter Times says :—
The Clinton cricket team visited Ex-
eter on Tuesday and played a friendly
game with the home team. Two inn-
ings each were played. The result was
in Exeter's favor, the score standiug 81
to 80 with three wickets in favor of
Exeter. Some good batting was done
by Marsden and Kennedy of the Clin-
ton team and Marshland and J. Hynd-
man for the Exeter teant,r„ The visitors
report A. pleasant time.
CRICKET.—This (Wednesday) morn-
ing at 10 o'clock a rare treat will be
offered lovers of the willow in Clinton
on Recreation Park. Par•kdale, said to
he one of the hest teams in Ontario,
will be here and a grand exhibition of
expert play is looked for. The team
comprises :—J. E. Hall, .1. T. Clark, E.
Fawke, A, H. Collins, J. Eyer, D. J.
LeRoy, A. Chambers, C. Leigh, A. B.
Reid, F. W. Black, A.. E. Black, E.
Dean, D. Gregory. The Clinton play-
ers are Messrs. Kennedy, Holmes, Mc-
Itlnrchie, Dennis, McTaggart. Marsden,
Chidley, Harland, Barnhardt, Howson,
McDonald.
THE. WHEEL.—There is probably
fifty bicycles or more in Clinton and
neighborhood and no one seems enough
interested to ruovetoward forming a
Club. f4very Canadian town of im-
portanc has a club and governing
rules. They have weekly runs and get
some velue in the way of combined re-
creation, But probably those interest-
ed in the sale of wheels have no time
to devote other than for money profit.
There should he a good bicycle, club in
Clinton. It would be a good advertise-
ment for the town. Why should the
Mayor not endeavor to organize ? He
rides a wheel.
BOWLING ON THE •GREEN.—A very
interesting and well -contested game at
bowls was played at Seaforth on
Thursday. Arnong the Clinton con-
testants were several new players. The

LACROSSE.—The match on Friday
evening, which was held on Recreation
Park between the Beavers of Seaforth
and Dauntless of Clinton, drew about
250 people to witness it. The hall was
not faced as early as - announced.
However, after a stern half hours play,
the visitors scored the first goal at eight
o'clock and two more in twenty-five
minutes, making the game 3 to 0 in
favor of Seaforth. The Beavers are a
great team ani have the play clown to
science. Their combination, check-
ing, fleetness. and staying powers
entitle them to all the honors they
have won this season ; in addition to
this they are a gentlemanly lot of well-
built fellows. They will always he
welcomed to Clinton.
BASE BALL.—The Star says of the
game at, Goderich last Friday :—The
game of base ball played on the
Agricultural Park yesterday afternoon
between the Goderich and Clinton
teams was one of the best matches
ever witnessed here. The figures 8 to
6 show that good work was done on
both sides. but the feature of the game
was the flelding of the home players.
This could not be excelled, and if the
boys keep up such playing all season
they will more than deserve the good
words bestowed Capon thein yesterday.
At the fifth innings Clinton had not
scored and Goderich had but 3, tvhich
shows how hot the play was. "Judge"
Doyle did great work in the box and
take the match all through it was a
most enjoyable one. "Colin" Ball of
Clinton gave general satisfaction as
umpire, and it is pleasant, to add that
the game was played throughout with
mutual good feeling. George W.
Orton, champion anile runner of the
U. S., who is a guest of Mr. Hooper, of
the Collegiate Institute, gave an ex-
hibition half mile spurt, with two local
swift -feet to spur him on. This fea-
ture was highly appreciated by the
specta tors.

The Galt Reportersays :--Mr. Thomas
Peck has got a couple of Jesigns for
the Dominion flag. 0110 has a white
disc on which is at buffalo surrounded
by seven maple leaves to represent
the seven provinces and the buffalo the
strength. The other has a white St.
Andrew's 'cross on which are seven
maple leaves and the fleur de lis in the
centre. The union Jack is in the cor-
ner of each flag. Both designs look
very neat.
Notwithstaoding the severe frost in
the spring and the subsequent dry
weather. the grain crops in this section
have seldom promised letter. Fall
wneat is nicely headed nut, and alt.huugh
it is not so heavy o11 the ground as in
801110 former years, it is healthy look-
ing and very even. if it fills properly
it will be above an average crop. Bar-
ley is also nut in head and is a nice
even cro r, and promises a good yield.
Oats, although as yet not very far ad-
vanced, are a good, healthy color, and
are growing well. The pea crop, also,
looks well. The only appearance of a
short crop, so far. is in hay and fruit.
In many places, the new meadows are
almost a failure, while the older fields
will not give much over half the yield •
of last year, and of fruit there will be
it great scarcity. In many orchards;
there are no apples of Any kind. Corn,,
where it has been sown, is coming on
nicely, and since the late rains the
roots are coming forward well. There
is a good deal of fear entertained from
the grasshoppers, especially on account
of the roots and oats. These little
pests are said to be very numerous,
and there seems to be no way of exter-
minating them. On the whole, how-
ever, the outlook for a fairly good
crop is encouraging, and if the present
scale of prices are maintained until
marketing time comes, our farmers
may fairly look forward to a more pro-
fitable year than has been vouchsafed
there for some time. -Seaforth Exposi-
